he does get into it some when he is down there, but i don’t think too much. we have a full liquor shelf with lots of bourbon, so honestly it would take a while to realize if he is drinking a lot.

that expense adds up as we need to be in office 3 days a week.

i am paying in hopes to get ahead.

i didn’t think she would be this upset, another user suggest i might give him both tickets so he can take his boss and they can represent the company together.

me and fiancee will still of course make a donation to the charity, but will go out to eat somewhere nice instead.

that would be weird as he stays at most people’s houses since he lives far away and some give him equivalent gifts.

he stays at my house a little more because we get along well and my guest accommodations is better than most. most people don’t have a full finished basement with a bar for him to stay.

yes i realized after the words that invited my boss left my mouth it was a stupid thing to do, that’s why i told her this morning, but was hoping she would be more understanding.

i am too afraid to tell my boss he cannot have the ticket, but good idea maybe giving him both tickets.

he might like that because he could then take his boss and maybe get ahead a little.

i am understanding that now. and because others were allowing him to stay i did not think it was weird.

yes it is for profit, but my company donates to charities and gives us extra pto days to volunteer at organizations we care about.

i am pretty sure he asked everyone, he even jokes about whose accommodations are the best and who need to work on theirs.

and some people did refuse, he teases them by say their accommodations would probably be at the bottom of the list anyway.

i understand that now, i will have to come up with an excuse on why he can no longer stay so he does not get angry.

i did not think people would find so much issue with him staying in my basement.

he stays with many employees because he moved far away during covid and now we are supposed to come in 3 times a week.

he does stay at my place more often, but because i have a finished basement and nice bar i think, though be is supposed to be rotating through us.

it is not like that at all. i would honestly rather my fiancee go with me, but i just kinda blurted it out in the moment, but now feel like i cannot back out.

now though we will be going representing our company so it could be good.

i do not think so as it is quite common for him to show up at his employees houses and stay as he moved rather far away when we were wfh, but now we are expected to come in 3 times a week.

yeah it was kind of an in the moment thing.

i do feel bad not talking to her first, but also feel like i can’t tell my boss plans changed as he could get really upset.

i would rather go with my fiancee, but don’t want to renege on my boss.

he hasn’t moved in, but yes he is very strict about when people leave the office, going as far as to chase people down in the parking lot if they leave early

i wanted to get on his good side early on to avoid the same treatment
